Motown grooves and hip-hop

snowed...

                                         Photo Image: XoK.

empty houses//empty bottles
snow.
lost In the bay
no boats
no singing
mermaids don't play
sealed in a bottle
it snowed.

Let's do the Salsa-!'

(  )

6 AM /a poem by/ Peter DeVeber/ the constellations connect...

Wavy winds curls and flowers
Snow swirling
Singing
In the wisps in the Andes
The furnace is on
Coffee pen and paper
Hear plows but no train whistle
Another plow just plows
Gust and lights
I will be able to make an egg
Folded with Newman's Own mango salsa
Orange juice
And a walk with Jack 
But not in Chopin's garden
Bach's? Maybe? <>

like everything else.

Hello, earth...

Hello, earth...
looking so elegant 
through venetian lace
a lavish bloom 
floating dreamily through your winter days-
lavender 
pomegranate 
rose
hued
pallets 
//
a sweet morning
you are loVed

Picasso Still in the Challenge...

                                                       These Lips Are Talking...

                                                       analyzed, broken up, reassembled
                                                                   My Face Revealed

Okay.
All set.
You bet...
here I go I'm a rambling mammmmm'
Picasso still is in this challenge my, loVes!
He's taken a hold of me and won't loosen 
his ArT reins. That's quite all right, alright, alright,
Picasso. For, after yesterday I was feeling somewhat
Dis Assembled' cubed analyzed and put back together by picasso.
//
Oh, wait a second and yes, I can work with that--- thanks, picasso-!' 
Picasso once remarked upon passing a group of school kids in his old age, 
"When I was as old as these children, I could draw like RAPHEAL' but it took
a lifetime to learn to draw like them.

I like that.

//
I do need to mention my long time ArT friend, Peter DeVeber once again and his
wife Jean DeVeber. I finally found my use for those lovely enamel paints you
passed on to Moi -!' Yeppa, that's right. Claudia's paints, Claudia Mahlman was
a local well-known ArTist in these parts, she passed away a few years ago and I have
some of her little jars of enamels stacked perfectly in a basket right here in front of me. 
Claudia,
I shall depict a subject from a multitude of view points to represent some loVely Cubism glassArT 
- hip-hip hoo-ray-!'

"A Day Late and A Dollar Short..."

That's how it goes sometimes when you have an ArT gig challenge

Oh, oh, forgetting to mention thy parents always have your back, my LoVes.
Ah, yes and the college is a few hours in distance - just a jaunt.

Challenge // Day Three // Just Dovey...

                               The Feeding

                            Of The Morning Doves

                      ArT Image By: XoK.

My Finished ArT piece today has many influences...
picasso was the initial influence this morning, his lines, courage 
and freedom of form and grace. And then there were my LoVes'
My Morning Doves and My Tortured Maple Tree (picasso tree)
Picasso just won't let me go...
All of these influences intertwine considerably and I'm LoVi'n It-!'
//
Today was simply pure magic

ArT Medium used: pastels on pastel paper

My ArTisT Friend, Peter DeVeber nominated Moi to participate in

YePpa, It's Another New Years Post...

                                            ArT Is It

Now theses Gals sure know how to celebrate and no I didn't get a chance 
to celebrate quite like this, but I did get to ring in the New Year with my family
and friends and that is what I adore the most-!'

They sure do make me Smile and Giggle too.



Hers is a self portrait of Ronald Searle 
He's the guy, YePpA the Artist of these LoVely Gals'
He is one of my all time favorite Fashion Illustrators and ArTisT.
I do recall studying all about his wild life in College and I was quite
Smitten with him back then and today I am even more Smitten, but sadly...
I found out today he passed away on December 30, 2011
Thank You for your talent, Robert-!' (Ah, ArT')
// 
I did say this is the year of inspiration 
"Well, my darling Searle you are my inspiration this year-!"
//
And I thank you for that.
